Ok, package into a package, and donate bandwidth and HW. This is what makes the real difference between the Fedora infrastructure and arbitrary 3rd party repos. > As to items that aren't software, I am primarily referring to SW. Content is secondary to me, but should not be excluded from discussion. It's a pity, but as it seems to me, as if there isn't much "community driven" in FE. You seem to forget that FE is not about "serving RH", but about "serving the community" by "community devs/packagers" unitedly contributing packages. Seems as if I can't avoid shifting some of my Fedora activities away from Fedora to 3rd party repos.
